Electrical Issue

[Pedro Loffredi]

Hi.. I have a 2016 Sea Ray 290 Sundeck with two 250 HP outboards. I believe I'm having some electrical issues that I would like to share. First pretty much the entire boat will function (stereo, lights, motors...) while the battery switch is turned off. Second the blue underwater lights will turn on and off on its own, occasionally, while both the light switch is off and the battery switch off as well. Does anyone know what could be the problem? thanks

Your going to have to look at the back of the switch, maybe PO hot wired it because it failed?

Sorry for the dumb question, but what's a PO hot wire? I'm fairly new at this...

Previous Owner moved the wires

Be aware that some of the circuits on your boat are not switched. Things like bilge pumps, stereo memory, engine ECM, etc. do not turn off when the battery switch is turned off. So, when you look at the back of the switch there will be more than one connection on the Bat terminal.

I would love to se a 270 Sundeck do 250.

Light are more then likely wired directly to the battery and most the time are turned off and on with a relay . follow the wires back from lights and see if there is some type of a controller that operates them. The promblem is more then ikely there.

Yes but the outboads are rated by HP and not MPH. Mitch was just joking around. And you posted 270 ...
